Adding images and/or video on blogs is something that can either help or hurt your bounce rate depending on how you use them.  For many new bloggers, the use of images can be particularly challenging.  Luckily, our software provides and easy to use blogging platform that makes it easy to add these images. 



What are best practices when adding pictures, logos, or other image links? 

  • Use the correct "type" of image.  Our SEO software takes JPG, GIF, and PNG images which are standard for all Internet browsers.
  • Size can also determine whether or not a reader will stay on your blog post.  If the image is larger than the body of the post, it is likely that the reader will not read the content on the page.
  • Posting images can be a daunting task in most other applications.  Compendium's easy to use blog software makes this a snap.  We use a text editor that makes it simple to add any type of image or video you like. 
  • Finally, ensuring you are not using a copy written image that you do not have permission to post is key. 
Images can help the reader become and stay more involved in what they are reading.  They can increase the time a reader will spend on your blog as well.
